SDE II at Amazon
Bellevue, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTommy Dong is a design-oriented SDE II at Amazon with nine years of hands-on experience building performant, user-focused front-end applications. He has a strong track record in React, client-side auth, and performance optimization—rebuilding a marketing site to achieve 4x faster loads and shipping a scholarship tool that attracted the company’s first 100 users. A Missouri S&T CS graduate with a 3.8 GPA, Tommy blends practical product instincts with engineering rigor, often trimming complexity (e.g., reducing hundreds of lines of form code via Formik). He led a 25-person robotics team to develop autonomous drones and coordinated a rocket-launched quadcopter effort, showing leadership beyond software. His GitHub-driven iterative approach—“design app, build app, attempt to profit, learn, repeat”—reflects a bias for experimentation and continuous improvement.
